And if you notice, that function is not always built into the kernel, depending on different kernel options. It also will go away in the 2.7 kernel. So those reasons are why I will not export that function so that it can be used in any other portion of the kernel. thanks, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
